CES 2012: Victorinox's £2,000 Swiss Army knife sports 1TB thumb drive

Victorinox's latest Swiss Army knife packs a sharp blade, a pair
of teeny tiny scissors, a nail file and a screwdriver. Oh, and a
one-terabyte USB thumb drive.

The 125-year-old Swiss Army knife has been mixing wilderness survival tools,
presentable fingernails and USB thumbdrives for a while now, but
this terabyte offering -- shown off at gadget showcase CES
in Las Vegas this week -- really ups the ante.

The Victorinox SSD comes in 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, and 1TB
versions, is allegedly the world's smallest high-capacity SSD drive
on the market and fits into both USB2/3 and eSATA 2/3 connectors
with one connector.

There's also the Victorinox Slim 3.0, which sports faster
read/write speeds, but maxes out at 128GB. Both knives have
swap-out "flight-friendly" bodies with no knives, so you can take
your precious thumb drive in your hand luggage.

You'll definitely want to keep it with you, mind: the 1TB
version will cost you around $3,000 (almost £2,000) when it goes on sale
this August. Hopefully someone will install Apache on one -- it could
redefine "blade server".
